Crafting and Decorating

Screen/Panel Card

I am so happy to be chosen as one of the many talented monthly contributors for Diecut Crazy Magazine and this screen panel card below, is my first project submission. Our theme for the month of July is “Summer”. I have to admit that I was just a bit perplexed. I didn’t have any stamp sets with a summer theme. The majority of my dies are for Halloween, fall, Christmas and spring. I had to look back at some of my past projects and for some reason I couldn’t find any inspiration that would perfectly describe summer.

In my opinion, summer is all about spending quality time with my husband and kids, traveling around, barbecues, loving the longer daylight, playing with pinwheels, kites, picking flowers, bird-watching and just generally enjoying the great outdoors! So I decided to capture these moments and showcase it through this Screen/Panel Card. The sentiment that I used for this card is exactly what summer is all about ~ it doesn’t have to be perfect to be WONDERFUL!

About Me

I am married to an amazing man, Richard and we have two beautiful children (Dominic 30 and Jessica 22). I am an Interior Designer by trade, although I am now enjoying an "almost" retired life with my loving husband.

I love to create beautiful things and also love to decorate my home. Crafting is my passion. I've always been a fan of DIY projects. Four years ago, I started paper crafting (i.e., card making and scrapbooking).

In this Blog you will see a lot of crafting project inspiration - whether it's DIY decor for your home, or handmade cards, tags, planner and scrapbooking layouts. I would love it if you would stop by and check out recent and past posts. I hope that by doing so, I have inspired you to create beautiful things. Have an amazing day!
